4.0 out of 5 starsBuy it
only used the large black, works OK once you realise you have to pull the clip into place, it doesn't snap fit like original, but once in is secure. Good price and good delivery. Will buy again.

1.0 out of 5 starsAwful. Please avoid!
I will very briefly state the problems I had with these cartridges.

First, for one of the cartridges, the large plastic tab was missing that is moulded into the bottom of the casing. This tab is what keeps the cartridge in place inside the printer, so its absence meant that the cartridge would not stay clicked in.

First, for one of the cartridges, the large plastic tab was missing that is moulded into the bottom of the casing. This tab is what keeps the cartridge in place inside the printer, so its absence meant that the cartridge would not stay clicked in.

Second, for two other cartridges, the tabs were there, but their shape was poorly formed, such that there was no "click", and therefore the cartridges would pop straight out.

Because the printer needs to have a good electrical as well as mechanical connection to the cartridges for it to function, these meant that the printer would refuse to turn on properly, stopping straight away with an error message.

Third, the construction of the cartridges was very poor, with the ink from one having leaked out into the plastic packaging, and the ink for two others spewing out of the cartridge the moment the orange safety cover was removed. In my case, this stained my carpets with ink that is very difficult to remove.

Please, avoid these cartridges for your own sake -- they are simply not worth it!
